The 1911 GB Census confirms his occupation as "gardener".
He is recorded as "married 23 years", with son John Henry Cuer, 19, Hosiery Hand and daughters Florence 14, Minnie 11 and Rosa 8.
Wife not recorded as part of household.

The 1901 Census has him with wife Elizabeth, age 32 and a daughter Edith aged 6 (+ John Henry, Florence and Minnie).
His occupation is recorded as "Boot lifting chopping machine".

There's a report in the Hinckley Times, 16 Oct 1909 of an Elizabeth Cuer living apart from her husband John Cuer, Hinckley, labourer - he was summoned for common assault. She was living apart from 5 children.
Case dismissed.

Thank you for this information
You've answered alot of my questions

My dna results included Queensland Australia
Found out it was John William Cuer that ended up there hence wanting to find out more.

So it appears he went there on his own then
Strange
Wonder if he had more children when he was there?

Why not check here - at least up to 1925 (1 yr short!).
